Any tournament coverage that does not have Ike screaming "It's a GIANT" over a two pound bass is a winner to me. Now that not just funny, but true in every sense

The only thing that struck me as odd of all the coverage was the music they chose to play during the championship weigh in. Each year FLW seems to be getting better with there coverage.

They just announced they are going back to Ouchita for the 2019 FLW Cup. Only one 3 day bag over 30 pounds. It's tough to get excited about a place that can't produce over 10 pounds a day. It evens the playing field but dang that's brutal

You want to learn something by watching FLW live, watch what they do when they aren't catching them or when they are faced with tough conditions. That's when you learn what separates those guys from the rest of us.
In the end, a guy still walked away with $300,000 and no one can say he didn't earn it.

I agree their coverage is getting better, personally their production quality is far above BASS, but the talent is lacking. Also this tournament was brutal to follow. I could only pay attention for about 30 min each day before I got bored and checked out. Hard to get excited when MLF catches bigger fish.

That lake is super tough in the summer and for some reason FLW picks lakes that pose the biggest challenge for anglers in the Cup. I get it's the money the Chamber of Commerce and local cities put up, but there's got to be someone out there willing to pay up and have an entertaining event. They (FLW) rely on sponsorship to make money but it's brutal to watch.

From 10th to 1st on final day. That's why they go there. Most lakes it's a 3-4 guy race on the final day

FLW final day was great since you had one come from 10th pace to first and I call that a championship worth watching all 3 day's and enjoyed it , but ole Chris Jones could cut back on screaming you 2 biggest bass . And it seems Velvick stay's lost all the time and he's got to think a while to figure out what to say . I think he (Velvick) hinders the show and have no idea why he's even there. But as far as FLW , I enjoy it as much as Bass and MLF I could live with out. Just doesn't interest me at all.

I was at the weigh-in and left with a headache from all of his screaming. I would almost rather hear the "Gi Gi Gi Gi Giant Bass" at the BASS weigh-ins.

From 10th to 1st on final day. That's why they go there. Most lakes it's a 3-4 guy race on the final day There's plenty of other lakes where that could play out as well and be less painful for the fans. Just look at what Jordan Lee did in the last couple classics. As an angler, I prefer tougher tournaments like this but as a fan, not so much.

Obviously but you have to have the facilities and a city paying out. That plays the biggest role. If it didn't, Rayburn would've had multiple classics and multiple cups already...

The on lake coverage was a little dicey but what do you expect with cell phone coverage in the mountains. It was an enjoyable weigh in to watch live and to hear the anglers discuss their challenges. I like these types of tournament better than watching them sight fish all day long. Tough tournaments in the summer are more like real life.
